Bus Back Better | Demand Responsive Transport

This support package will help local transport authorities understand and plan for Demand Responsive Transport

This support package will help LTAs:

  • develop a better understanding of demand responsive transport (DRT) scheme design through case studies in urban/suburban and rural areas.

  • increase their knowledge on how to create a commercially successful scheme.


As part of the demand responsive transport support package, we have provided a technical note that covers how typical DRT schemes operate in a range of scales and contexts. Please see below document.

We will be providing case study examples of DRT and community schemes with a particular focus on:– Scope, including geographical extent and areas services (urban or rural)– Fares and ticketing arrangements, including fare structure and booking system, financing arrangements and lessons learned during implementation
